Christa Rhodes '14

From the moment I stepped on campus, I was drawn to Methodist. The people are warm and welcoming, and the environment is amazing. After my campus visit, I applied to MU and decided not to apply to any other colleges!

My MU journey has been very enriching. I served as a resident assistant in West Hall during my freshman year and that sparked the beginning of my leadership roles on campus. Since then, I have held various positions, including serving as a head resident, as well as serving as president of the Resident Housing Association, and as recruitment chair for the National Society of Leadership and Success.

I completed three internships through the Education Department at Methodist. My internship experiences have prepared me to enter the classroom on my own. I have learned so much about the public education system through my hands-on experiences in the school systems. These experiences have confirmed that teaching is my calling and I cannot wait to be a teacher!
